Almost-Riemannian Structures on Banach Manifolds: The Morse Lemma and the Darboux Theorem
In this paper we introduce the notion of an almost Riemannian manifold. Briefly speaking, an almost-Riemannian structure on a Banach manifold is a generalization of the notion of a Riemannian structure on a Hilbert manifold, common examples would be manifolds of maps modelled on the Sobolev spaces L k p …
